Purgatory – Truth #5:Purgatory isn’t a physical fire.Purgatory is an inner burning, a “spiritual fever,” for the love of God.

The souls in purgatory have seen God in all his glory, and now they’re unable to be with him.So they burn “interiorly” for God.It is God’s burning love, his longing for souls that creates their longing for him.They “burn” for love of him; they are hearts aflame for love of him.They have an unquenchable thirst, an unspeakable yearning for him.They have a “heartsickness: for him.He’s the fulfillment of all their desires.
